Early years

Smith attended Auckland's Willow Park Primary School, Takapuna Normal Intermediate and Northcote College.
In 1999, as a 16-year-old, Smith made the album Light From a Distant Shore after winning Best Female Vocalist at the National Jazz Festival of NZ. This album of Celtic music was produced by her stepfather who was a well-known musician in New Zealand.

Career

In 2003, Smith moved to Wellington singing with TrinityRoots. She recorded an album Home, Land and Sea and toured with the band.
In 2005, the 5-track Hollie Smith EP was released, featuring her own compositions. In 2006, she released her debut full-length album, Long Player. Also in 2006, the single "Bathe in the River", written by Don McGlashan, was released. The song, from the soundtrack of the New Zealand feature film, No. 2, was a significant hit for Smith, spending 22 weeks in the NZ Top 10.

LP record

The LP (long play), or 331⁄3rpm microgroove vinyl record, is a format for phonograph (gramophone) records, an analog sound storage medium. Introduced by Columbia Records in 1948, it was soon adopted as a new standard by the entire record industry. Apart from relatively minor refinements and the important later addition of stereophonic sound capability, it has remained the standard format for vinyl albums.

Format advantages

At the time the LP was introduced, nearly all phonograph records for home use were made of an abrasive (and therefore noisy) shellac compound, employed a much larger groove, and played at approximately 78 revolutions per minute (rpm), limiting the playing time of a 12-inch diameter record to less than five minutes per side. The new product was a 12- or 10-inch (30 or 25cm) fine-grooved disc made of vinyl and played with a smaller-tipped "microgroove" stylus at a speed of 331⁄3rpm. Each side of a 12-inch LP could play for more than 20 minutes. Only the microgroove standard was truly new, as both vinyl and the 331⁄3rpm speed had been used for special purposes for many years, as well as in one unsuccessful earlier attempt to introduce a long-playing record for home use.

Nine Types of Light

The album's lead single "Will Do" was released on February 23, 2011. Its closing track, "Caffeinated Consciousness", was made available on the band's website as a free download on March 10, 2011.

Nine Types of Light was very well received by critics and has a "Universal Acclaim" rating of 82 at review aggregating website Metacritic.

It is the final TV on the Radio album to feature bassist Gerard Smith, who died of lung cancer nine days after it was released.

Film

The band created an accompanying film to go with the album, an hourlong visual companion that offers music videos for all of Nine Types of Light's tracks. Packaged with a deluxe version of the CD, the film also exists on YouTube in its entirety. Characterized by eclectic visual style and thematic content as well as TV on the Radio's diverse, unique sound, the film allows for a different interpretation and method of experiencing the album. Directed by singer Tunde Adebimpe (with different directors helming the individual clips, see below for list), the film also features interviews with a variety of New Yorkers discussing topics including dreams, love, fame, and the future. A humorous epilogue, set to the song "You" and featuring the band members meeting for lunch ten years after a fictional breakup, concludes the film. Overall, the work can be seen as Afrofuturistic, particularly the video for "Will Do," which incorporates virtual-reality technology to tell a unique love story starring Adebimpe and Joy Bryant.

"Make Believe" - Hollie Smith

Hollie Smith_Fields of Athenry

Hollie Smith－Fields Of Athenry
我那天反覆聆聽好幾回，終於敲定介紹這位歌手就以這首歌曲作為契子。當我開始查閱歌詞資料時內心又是一陣興奮與哀嚎，興奮的是等於又可以欣賞一首頗具傳統風味的詩歌，甚至可以因此得知些歷史淵源，這對外國史貧乏的我實是一項不可多得的樂趣。而哀嚎的是，看到詞寫得太美，就想翻成中文看看，但這對目前的我而言實在是很艱鉅的任務。（不好意思，但我實在懶得翻了XD）大學前幾年刻意看書增強的文辭修飾能力早已隨著住院醫師工時過長過勞的摧殘而回復到國中水準….XD。或許將來有空該去考個學測念個私立大學外文系才對！（但我只是說說而已，回台後還是努力賺錢繳房貸啦，再過三個月就得開始找工作＝＝）
回到本題。荷莉史密斯這張名為光芒萬丈的專輯是當初唱片行裡紅配綠綠標的超值商品。別看封面她一副超有個性的樣子，實際上是位美聲歌手。而這張初試啼聲的專輯則是打乖乖牌，收錄不少早已出名的名曲。但這又何妨呢？主角靠著她本身天賦賦予這些經典歌曲不同風貌也是種美好。就像名牌衣裳穿在不一樣的明星身上也是會有不同效果。況且若以一個亞洲人的觀點去看這些經典選曲就沒有太過陳腔濫調的困擾，所以是很值得推薦蒐藏的超值專輯。
我選的這首歌曲大有來頭，對足球狂熱的人或許會有聽過哩。
The Fields of Athenry
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
Micheal they are taking you away
For you stole Trevelyn's corn
So the young might see the morn.
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.
Low lie the Fields of Athenry...

Low lie the Fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
Nothing matters Mary when you're free,
Against the Famine and the Crown
I rebelled they ran me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity.
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
By a lonely harbor wall
She watched the last star falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.

=================================================
[Verse 1: Sam Smith & YEBBA]
I see you in the morning, feel your fingers in my hair
Sometimes I still pretend you’re there
It hits me without warning, your reflection walking by
But I know it’s only in my mind
[Pre-Chorus: YEBBA, Sam Smith, & Both]
Will you show me the piece of my heart I’ve been missing?
Won’t you give me the part of myself that I can’t give back?
Will you show me the piece of my heart I’ve been missing?
‘Cause I’d kill for you, and darling you know that
[Chorus: YEBBA, Sam Smith, & Both]
So I’ll light up a cigarette
I’ll drink it down ‘til there’s nothing left
‘Cause I sure can’t get no sleep
And Lord knows there’s no relief
You held my heart in your fingertips
So now I drown in my bitterness
Oh, I can’t get no sleep
And I sure won’t, I sure won’t find no peace
No peace
[Verse 2: YEBBA & Sam Smith]
All thatI am asking is for a little clarity
That’s all that really matters to me
In and out of focus, tears are in my eyes
We’re burning down the bridges this time
[Pre-Chorus: YEBBA, Sam Smith, & Both]
Will you show me the piece of my heart I’ve been missing?
Won’t you give me the part of myself that I can’t give back?
Will you show me the piece of my heart I’ve been missing?
‘Cause I’d kill for you, and darling you know that
[Chorus: YEBBA & Sam Smith]
So I’ll light up a cigarette
I’ll drink it down ‘til there’s nothing left
‘Cause I sure can’t get no sleep
And Lord knows there’s no relief
You held my heart in your fingertips
So now I drown in my bitterness
Oh, I can’t get no sleep
And I sure won’t, I sure won’t find
[Bridge: Sam Smith & YEBBA]
I used to find comfort in your arms
Caught up in the wonder of your charms
Oh, I’ll cry for you, I’ll cry for you
I’ll lie for you, I’ll lie for you
But I don’t even know you anymore
[Chorus: YEBBA & Sam Smith]
So I’ll light up a cigarette
I’ll drink it down ‘til there’s nothing left
‘Cause I sure can’t get no sleep
And Lord knows there’s no relief
You held my heart in your fingertips
So now I drown in my bitterness
Oh, I can’t get no sleep
And I sure won’t, I sure won’t find no peace
[Outro: YEBBA & Both]
Sure won’t find no peace, no, no
Will you give me the piece
Will you give me the piece of my heart?
Will you give me the piece
Will you give me the piece of my heart?

So guys for the very long hiatus! I really appreciate all the love for my videos. Please leave any song suggestions as it gives me videos to make. For the meantime, here's one of the songs that haven't left my head since first listening to it. :)
Also, would anyone to hear any original music???
Peace. ✌🏼
=================================================
[Verse 1: Sam Smith & YEBBA]
I see you in the morning, feel your fingers in my hair
Sometimes I still pretend you’re there
It hits me without warning, your reflection walking by
But I know it’s only in my mind
[Pre-Chorus: YEBBA, Sam Smith, & Both]
Will you show me the piece of my heart I’ve been missing?
Won’t you give me the part of myself that I can’t give back?
Will you show me the piece of my heart I’ve been missing?
‘Cause I’d kill for you, and darling you know that
[Chorus: YEBBA, Sam Smith, & Both]
So I’ll light up a cigarette
I’ll drink it down ‘til there’s nothing left
‘Cause I sure can’t get no sleep
And Lord knows there’s no relief
You held my heart in your fingertips
So now I drown in my bitterness
Oh, I can’t get no sleep
And I sure won’t, I sure won’t find no peace
No peace
[Verse 2: YEBBA & Sam Smith]
All thatI am asking is for a little clarity
That’s all that really matters to me
In and out of focus, tears are in my eyes
We’re burning down the bridges this time
[Pre-Chorus: YEBBA, Sam Smith, & Both]
Will you show me the piece of my heart I’ve been missing?
Won’t you give me the part of myself that I can’t give back?
Will you show me the piece of my heart I’ve been missing?
‘Cause I’d kill for you, and darling you know that
[Chorus: YEBBA & Sam Smith]
So I’ll light up a cigarette
I’ll drink it down ‘til there’s nothing left
‘Cause I sure can’t get no sleep
And Lord knows there’s no relief
You held my heart in your fingertips
So now I drown in my bitterness
Oh, I can’t get no sleep
And I sure won’t, I sure won’t find
[Bridge: Sam Smith & YEBBA]
I used to find comfort in your arms
Caught up in the wonder of your charms
Oh, I’ll cry for you, I’ll cry for you
I’ll lie for you, I’ll lie for you
But I don’t even know you anymore
[Chorus: YEBBA & Sam Smith]
So I’ll light up a cigarette
I’ll drink it down ‘til there’s nothing left
‘Cause I sure can’t get no sleep
And Lord knows there’s no relief
You held my heart in your fingertips
So now I drown in my bitterness
Oh, I can’t get no sleep
And I sure won’t, I sure won’t find no peace
[Outro: YEBBA & Both]
Sure won’t find no peace, no, no
Will you give me the piece
Will you give me the piece of my heart?
Will you give me the piece
Will you give me the piece of my heart?

From the album "Humour & The Misfortune Of Others" (2007).
To see full project info and behind the scenes photographs and video:

The video was directed by Preston McNeil, concept by Preston and Faye McNeil. Mofresh met and worked with some great talent on the Mamma music video, Richard Harling (DOP), Joe Fish (editor) and Evan Short (audio engineer). All the actors were looking fantastic thanks to the make-up mastery of Nat Bascand and Ads Marsh keeping their costumes in check. Faye McNeil with the help of Helena McApline produced the video from concept through to the goodie bags at the video release party. The Video was shot over two days, totaling 31 hours of production time, edited over a week and graded under five days by the amazing crew at Oktobor. The Hotel de Brett and Sale St Bar crews were amazing to us opening their doors as shoot locations.

Holly hit the gene pool lottery (Picture... They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree – and in the case of Holly Willoughby and her mum, that’s most definitely true. Holly’s fans have been marvelling over mama Willoughby after the This Morning presenter shared old pictures of her mum to mark her 70th birthday ... Holly, 37, shared a collage of old pictures of birthday girl Linda, including two of her as a curly-haired baby....
